FAQs

Are the adidas Handball Spezial suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, the "Carbon" model is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. It offers good grip but may lack the specific support and cushioning required for intense athletic performance on court.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by adidas or the retailer. Generally, measure your foot length and compare it to the corresponding UK size. These are unisex, so check sizing guides carefully.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The shoes are made of leather and suede, which are not inherently waterproof. While the rubber outsole offers some protection, it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the materials.

How often should I clean my Handball Spezial shoes?

Cleaning frequency depends on usage. For daily wear, a quick wipe-down or brushing of the suede after each use is recommended. Deep cleaning should be performed as needed when visible dirt accumulates or stains appear.

What is the main difference between the "Carbon" colorway and others?

The "Carbon" refers to the primary dark color. Specific colorways might differ in the color of the three stripes, the sole, or accents. Always check the product description for the exact color details.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Generally, the adidas Handball Spezial is reported to fit true to size for most individuals. However, foot shape can vary, so if you are between sizes or have wider feet, consider trying them on or checking reviews for fit advice.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and insole, or moisture. Try inserting a powder or talcum powder under the insole, or ensure the shoes are completely dry.

Leather creasing excessively

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit, avoid over-tightening laces, and use shoe trees when storing to help maintain shape.

Suede losing its texture

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush in one direction to lift the nap. Address stains promptly with a suede eraser or appropriate cleaner.

Traction feels reduced

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt, mud, or debris that might be hindering grip. Check the outsole for excessive wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, retro design that pairs well with many outfits.
  • Constructed with durable and premium leather and suede.
  • Offers good traction and stability due to the solid rubber outsole.
  • Combines classic aesthetics with modern comfort features.
  • Versatile for both casual and slightly more dressed-up retro styles.

Cons

  • Low-cut design may not provide sufficient ankle support for all activities.
  • Leather and suede materials may require specific care to maintain appearance.
  • May not be suitable for high-impact sports requiring advanced cushioning or support.
  • Color variations (e.g., white detailing) might show dirt more easily.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The adidas Handball Spezial arrives ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit. No assembly or setup is required.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed as unisex footwear suitable for adults. Their style is highly compatible with casual wear, streetwear, and retro-themed fashion.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Leather: Wipe the leather portions with a clean, slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the leather.
  • Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Protect suede from moisture.
  • Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a mild soap and water solution. Ensure it is dry before wearing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
